:confused;

Hello all,

I'm having a trouble of calling the server side to delete the selected file
from a list box. here is what I have on the server side (main.asc):

application.onConnect = function(newClient, name){

newClient.name=name;


application.acceptConnection(newClient);


var msg = "Hello! You are connected as: " + newClient.name;


newClient.call("msgFromSrvr", false, msg);

newClient.delFromSrvr = function(s){
var s = Stream.get(tempPlayFile);
trace("you selected " + s);
if(s){
s.onStatus = function(info){
if(info.code == "NetStream.Clear.Success"){
trace("Stream cleared successfully." + tempPlayFile);
}
if(info.code == "NetStream.Clear.Failed"){
trace("Failed to clear stream" + tempPlayFile);
}
};
s.clear();
}
}
}

===================
and on the FLA file after clicking the delete button:

function doDelete(){

var playFile = _global.selectedFile;
if(_global.selectedFile == undefined){
trace("select file to delete");
}else{

audio_lb.removeItemAt(audio_lb.selectedIndex);

nc.delFromSrvr = function(tempPlayFile){
var tempPlayFile:String;
var s;
_global.selectedFile = tempPlayFile;
tempPlayFile = s;
}

}

}

You don't need to define the method on the client side... you just need to call
it properly. Read the docs on the call method of the netconnection class

On the server side:

newClient.delFromSrvr = function(s){
tempPlayFile = Stream.get(s);
if (tempPlayFile){
tempPlayFile.onStatus = function(info){
if(info.code == "NetStream.Clear.Success"){
trace("Stream cleared successfully.");
}
if(info.code == "NetStream.Clear.Failed"){
trace("Failed to clear stream.");
}
};
tempPlayFile.clear();
}


On the client side:

my_nc.call("delFromSrvr ", null, _global.selectedFile);

Hi Jay,

Thank you for your reply and suggestions. I read about the NetConnection
Class but still got the error message when I click on the Delete button:

Level: error Code: NetConnection.Call.Failed

=============================
I used the code you gave:

my_nc.call("delFromSrvr ", null, _global.selectedFile);

Can you help me one more time please? Thank you very much.

My code is an example. I typically don't post "cut-n-paste" code, but rather
the code that is in the docs. It's easier for me to copy and paste an example,
and I typically reserve my code writing time for people who are paying me : )

In your case, it looks like you didn't change the name of the netconnection
in what I pasted there. Try changing the netconnection name from my_nc to nc.

Hi Jay,

Still the same error code even when I changed from my_nc.call to nc.call. I
always get the "NetConnection.Call.Failed".

Seem like it didn't invoke the function on the server-side for the
"delFromSrvr" at all. Can you help please?

Thank you.
